Babyletto Gelato Mini Crib

Mini cribs carry an unearned stigma — most babies sleep in one comfortably past age two. The Gelato's 38-by-23-inch footprint fits the bedroom corner an apartment actually has, rolls through standard doorways on lockable casters, and uses a real waterproof mattress rather than a pad. Skipping the full-size crib in an apartment frees roughly nine square feet, which is the difference between a nursery corner and a room you can't walk through.
